Things really are going well.
I think the title of this post is more of a reminder to myself than anything else. I know I'm not on here much and when I am it's often to piss & moan about work. Yeah, my work life truly does suck but it's not what defines my life.
Every other aspect of my life is going pretty well. Becki and I are happy as ever. Our kids & grandkids are a constant source of joy and/or amusement. The nieces & nephews are also great to be around. The only cloud on our horizon is our pool.
Yup, here it is the beginning of July and our pool is still not open, I've had a hell of a time getting someone out to open it. Why didn't I just do it myself, you ask?
1. I am not handy at all. I can't fix anything, build anything or maintain anything. I end up writing checks for that stuff.
2. Our pool guy from last year sold his business. I could not get a hold of the new owner and everyone else I called was booked pretty solid.
3. Sometime during the winter the pool cover fell into the pool which dumped a bushel or two of leaves in the water. I scooped about half of them out myself. After that it looked like I was just steering muck around the bottom of the pool.
4. Any finally...our pump died. My current pool service took it try to get it fixed. Hopefully it will be up and running by this weekend.
On the plus side I managed to get our hot tub up & running. I finally found the instruction sheet to program it properly. A couple of years ago I put the sheet away someplace safe so I wouldn't loose it. Naturally, I lost it. I found it quite by accident while looking for another lost item.
It's almost bed time. I'll see you later...
